Scoring Scale

Note: This scoring scale is now deprecated. Reviews November 2015 onwards will not have any score.

Scores are done on a 1-10 scale with decimals.

> = 9.4 – Masterpiece (A to A+)

8.45-9.39 – Very Good (B to A)

7.45-8.44 – Good (C to B)

6.45-7.44 – Average (D – C)

6-6.44 – Below Average (D- – D)

< = 5.99 – Failure (F)

Note: Decimal scores are rounded down if it’s less than or equal to #.54 and rounded up if the score is greater than or equal to #.56. # represents the corresponding grade. Also, video game/visual novel reviews do not have any score due to the interactive nature of the medium.
